Costa de Oro Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir Reserva Oro Rojo Estate Gold Coast Vineyard 2008
Editorial Review by Gregory Dal Piaz:
A bit unusual on the nose, with lots of chocolate-chip cookie and graham cracker notes ,it’s a sweet-smelling wine though there’s plenty of green and wild raspberry/cherry fruit underneath. Very crisp on entry, nice and clear feeling with a gentle softness on the palate yet no shortage of acidity. The tannins have a very gently stemmy quality, which is appealing, and the stemmy undertones here add nice contrast to the raspberry fruit. There’s a touch of that oak influence sweetness of the nose but this is surprisingly pure in the mouth and onto the moderately long finish, which shows some hive herbal element along with a hint of spicy cinnamon. 90pts
